I'm afraid of non-human beings

Even Guan Chuchu herself didn't expect that she would reach a consensus with a bald skull one day.

——Skull Fang issued a solemn statement on this, he used to have a real thick blond hair.But things are quite bald, people are not as good as heaven, and no one can imagine that some small accident will happen one day, right?

Of course, now is not the time to worry about the amount of hair. Bathed in the gazes of the two of them—if one of them can still feel the gaze—even Lin You more or less realized that something was wrong.

"Why do you look at me like that?" She cleared her throat, "Have you never heard of the saying 'If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will catch a tiger'?"

... They all understand the truth, why is it so wrong to use it in this place? !

"Come on."

Lin You waved her hand, "Wait for me to get off."

Guan Chuchu: "Huh?"

"Where are you going?" she asked confusedly.

"Ah, don't worry about it." Lin You had just put the glass box containing the skull on the small round table, and when she saw that she wanted to follow, she hurriedly said, "Just go to the next door and be right back."

She said "immediately" is really "immediately", Guan Chuchu and Skull who stayed in the round hall only heard the door next to it close and close, and within a few seconds, Lin You appeared in this room again The narrow doorway to the containment room.

"Fortunately, the office is next to it," she blinked, "the things are quite complete."

Lin You walked back to the table in a few steps, and put down the smooth white paper and a black ballpoint pen in her hands.Casey, who was leaning on the car, noticed it and immediately moved slightly. She seemed to think of something, and reluctantly glanced at the Ford car that she had assembled by herself, but still lightly entered a certain white sheet that she had just brought. paper.

In addition to being able to interact with objects on the same sheet of paper, another layer of unique properties of SCP-085 is the sketch style. She can easily transfer between any drawings on the same plane. It's an oil painting, and her painting style will change accordingly.

However, now this is an empty blank paper, and Casey herself is not affected, but there is more room for movement.

"The note just now was too small."

Lin You explained: "It's easier to communicate with a bigger one. Although sign language is also very convenient, it's still more clear at a glance, isn't it?"

As she spoke, she leaned over and sketched on the paper with a ballpoint pen.

Her drawing level is average, but it is enough to add some small objects.The moment the pen tip fell, Kathy was a little surprised, but she seemed to be used to the things that suddenly appeared beside her, and she just stepped aside a little so that the "pen and paper" could be drawn more perfectly.

When Casey went over to pick up the notebook, Lin You thought about it, and chose a place on the top to write down the first sentence she took the initiative to communicate with the other party.

She thanked the other party for her advice first. After all, the girl had good intentions, but she couldn't accept it for her own reasons.

After that, it was time to ask the question.

[What does that guy look like? 】

Casey shook his head for the first time.

Judging by her expression, it seemed that even she was puzzled by it. After thinking about it for a while, she opened the book and began to write.

[I haven't seen its true face, only heard a little...]

Turn it over and write this in the notebook of the two people outside the picture and a skull.

[So I just tried to draw it. 】

Perhaps because he is a two-dimensional character, Kathy's drawing skills are unexpectedly good, and he vividly drew a huge reptile beside the few lines of words.

Although it looks like a lizard, it is obviously a product of imagination. The monster's iconic long claws and fangs are quite a few, and the appearance of its teeth and claws is particularly scary.

Lin You stared at the picture for a few seconds, then picked up a pen and wrote down the next question.

[Does it have a "lizard" in its name? 】

Casey tilted her head, and finally said in embarrassment that she couldn't remember.

Although she couldn't give a definite answer, Lin You still said "huh" thoughtfully.

Guan Chuchu saw some clues.

"Sister You," she asked tentatively, "Did you guess it?"

Lin You: "I was still thinking..."

"Because there are quite a few such containment objects in the Foundation. For example, a middle school student fiddled with a messy cult ritual, and the evil god that was finally summoned was trapped in the body of a pet lizard by accident. Crying that the little kids these days don’t read Lovecraft and don’t understand the rules, they don’t even offer sacrifices and want it to help them win the skateboarding competition... To get away, it shouldn’t be that one, that evil lizard god is right and wrong obsessed with skateboarding."

Speaking of this, she was still a little curious about Naia's reaction after seeing it.

"Contact the containment breach just mentioned..."

"It's SCP-682."

Guan Chuchu murmured and repeated the number.

"Yes," Lin You said, "'Immortal Lizard'."

A reptilian creature of unknown origin.

It has a high degree of intelligence and can communicate normally with humans, but it shows extreme hatred for all life. It has caused a lot of casualties in the process of breaking through containment and being captured several times.

Because of this, so far, the Foundation has tried to execute it in various ways.

There are not a few other SCPs who are required to do this. Due to the special nature of the contained objects, execution experiments are mostly carried out one-on-one, including SCP-096 and SCP-173.However, there is of course a reason for being alive after so much.

"Immortal Lizard", as the name suggests - can't die, but can still fight.

It has extremely strong vitality, and it can still linger on after suffering injuries that can cause normal creatures to die several times, regenerate at an unimaginable speed, and even evolve extremely quickly to adapt to the harsh environment around them.

Before they said anything else, Kathy suddenly lowered her head and began to write and draw again. When she raised her notebook again, there was a small simple map drawn on the paper.

[When I was doing an interactive experiment a while ago, I left a map at my place, and I just wrote it down...] Next to it is written, [I drew a picture based on my impression, you can see if it can be used. 】

Lin You glanced at the glass box beside her.

Skull: "..."

"What do you see me doing?" It pretended to be inexplicable.

Isn't this asking knowingly?

"It's nothing," she said with a smile, "It's just that some people can remember the map they saw a while ago, and some people can even remember the road they just walked. It's a bit painful."

Think about how many times they were almost led astray when they were running for their lives just now—or how do you say that people are most afraid of comparison?

Skull: "...Hmph!"

It deliberately twisted and turned away, as if it was sulking, but in fact it was still quietly paying attention to the movement here with its ears up.

After seeing the hand-drawn map, Lin You immediately wrote "thank you" to Casey on the paper, no matter whether they escaped or not, it will undoubtedly come in handy.

After pondering for a while, she wrote again.

【Do you want to go with us? 】

This time it is not a question of whether to accept the card or not. She just wants to simply ask Casey. After all, the other party is a paper man. It may not be too dangerous to stay in such a containment room, but there is no guarantee that there will be an earthquake. Tianyao or some "Keter" wants to demolish a building on a whim, and when the paper is damaged, it will be——

Probably considering this possibility, Casey nodded after hesitating.

It didn't take much effort to bring a few pieces of paper, so Guan Chuchu took it upon herself to find a folder of a suitable size in the next office, and carefully put all the papers in it.

After SCP-085 finished drawing the mini-map, it went back to the sticky note he had left for the car. Now, Lin You folded the white paper in half and held it in his hand, comparing it with the surrounding environment to judge the terrain.

Standing in the middle of the Wuchang corridor, Lin You tilted her head, always feeling that the scene in front of her seemed to have a sense of incongruity, "Going straight from here is Hall No. [-]."

"There seems to be a partition in the middle, and it will definitely be a more dangerous containment area..." Before she could figure out where the sense of disobedience came from, she heard Guan Chuchu worried, "But here is There is the last independent office, why don't you go and have a look there first?"

She was the one who proposed this proposal. Looking at the door in front of him, Lin You certainly had no reason to refuse.Walking into the office with a cracked door, it was as empty as any room they had entered before. Before walking a few steps, Lin You was attracted by a familiar machine behind the door .

...a shredder?

Probably because it was stuffed too hastily, a few pieces of torn paper were scattered on the side of the machine. She bent down to pick it up, and found that only two of them could form a complete sentence.

[I declare again that no matter what the reason is, we must never wake up SCP- (data expunged), she should always remain in a coma...]

Lin You: "...?!!"

She was savoring this sentence carefully, when Guan Chuchu, who was squatting at the other end of the desk rummaging through boxes and cabinets, suddenly exclaimed excitedly: "I found it! Is it this?!"

The electricity in this office is quite sufficient, and the incandescent light is shining from the top of the head, and the thin card she is holding reflects a little light.

Look at the certificate-like appearance, needless to say, it is the authority card that they have worked so hard to find for a long time.Lin You couldn't help but feel refreshed, just trying to see the level above——

The ground under his feet suddenly shook.

Guan Chuchu subconsciously grasped the employee authority card tightly before he could say anything.

Another shock.

It was only now that it was felt that not only the ground was shaking, but even the walls were also shaking.

I'm afraid it's not the time to let them be happy.

In the blink of an eye, Lin You suddenly understood what was the cause of the sense of disobedience just now.

--crack.

The gaps are unevenly distributed on the wall at the end, perhaps because the impact received is not that great, and it is even difficult for people to react at a glance.

But apparently, the guy who made that crack has now—

She yelled, "Stay away from the wall—"

"boom!"

The wall suddenly cracked.

The oncoming flying stones made life painful, and the dust choked into the lungs.After finally standing still, Lin You held her breath, put down her arm that was blocking her eyes, and saw clearly the huge figure appearing in the flying ash all over the sky.

As if in response to the sentence just now——

"Really?" SCP-682 said in that hoarse voice, "I found... too."
